• Keep He is certainly remembered: University of Vermont, 2013, 'Interpreting the Interstates' [1]; the Vermont Journal, 2016, 'Romaine Tenney: a celebration of a farmer’s life' [2]; the Rutland Herald, 2014, '‘I will die here’ Fifty years later, a Vermont farmer’s tragic tale lives on' [3]; the Burlington Free Press, 2016, had 'History Space: Creation of Vermont interstates' [4]; his story seems to be included in the book Green­ing Ver­mont, The Search for a Sus­tain­able State, according to this 2013 review of it in the Barton Chronicle [5] (I don't have access to the book to check); there was a 1h 35m TV program Romaine Tenney: A Celebration of a Farmer's Life [6]; and there's a song, The Ballad of Romaine Tenney [7].

• Delete: Typical WP:ONEEVENT. "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate.". Does that article exist? If yes, redirect. If not, then see if that event is significant before putting together an article for that. As far as Mr. Tenney is concerned, WP:ONEEVENT should apply. --1l2l3k (talk) 21:10, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
